Chapter 385 Death of Daoyuan

Marquis Wuwei listened quietly to Jiang Ran's words.

Then he picked up the teacup, brought it to his mouth but put it down again without drinking.

"So...what do you want to do?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said:

"Actually, there is an idea that has been lingering in Jiang's mind for a long time.

"It's just that there has never been a suitable opportunity... Now that the Marquis has such intention.

"Then why don't Jiang tell us and let the Marquis know the details?"

"Let me tell you, I am all ears."

Wu Weihou spoke seriously.

"Jianghu people behave according to their own rules. The famous and upright people do not involve ordinary people, and evil spirits and heretics use all possible means.

"However, no matter how much friction the two have, they are unwilling to involve the imperial court.

"Working for the imperial court is often looked down upon by people in the world...

“This is actually very interesting.

"The Marquis just said that before the great calamity of the family and the country, the people in Jianghu only had martial arts skills, but they could not protect the safety of the family and the people.

“But I don’t know how many heroic and courageous people have come forward and succeeded me during this period.

"Don't talk about it from afar... In the battle of Jinyang Mansion, Jiang took action first, followed by Dong Qingcheng of the Fierce Sword Sect, Zhao Ansheng of Qianjun Academy, Hua Hongjun of Chongshan Sect, Li Xiuwu of Jiuzhen Temple, Luo The young masters of the seven sects, such as Huasi Fahui, contributed to it.

“It can be seen that it is not just Jianghu people who are unwilling to serve the country.

“What is truly despised is… working for the imperial court and fighting against the world.

"As a Jianghu person, you help the court deal with Jianghu. Naturally, you will be criticized...called the court eagle dog."

Marquis Wuwei listened quietly, and when he heard the words 'court eagle dog', he could not help but frown slightly.

"Therefore...Jiang believes that if he wants to put an end to chaos in the rivers and lakes, he needs to set up people to enforce the law in the rivers and lakes.

“And those who enforce the law must be people from the world.

“In order to avoid being accused, the law enforcers and the court need to sign an agreement.

"This kind of law enforcement is approved by the imperial court and is within the legal principles.

“However, we are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, nor are we governed by the imperial court.

"In this case, it is not considered a court eagle dog.

"To Jianghu, we declare that what we do is only for justice and justice, and only for the people of Jianghu. We are not afraid of imperial power, powerful people, or opponents dominating one side. Everyone must be responsible for what they do."

After Wu Weihou heard this, he finally couldn't help but said:

"Wait a minute...Jiang Ran, what you are doing is even more outrageous than what I said.

"How can the world tolerate you acting like this?"

"Have you ever heard of boiling a frog in warm water?"

Jiang Ran smiled:

“Explain everything in one moment.

“It’s naturally hard for people in the world to recognize it.

"But if at the beginning, Jiang just planned to entangle a group of people and form an... knife-catching alliance, what do you think, Mr. Hou?"

"The League of Knife Catchers...

"The Knife Catching Alliance?"

Wu Weihou's heart moved slightly. He looked at Jiang Ran and heard Jiang Ran say softly:

“The imperial court itself set up the Sword Holding Division just to use the rivers and lakes to deal with the rivers and lakes.

"The reason why Jianghu people are willing to be swordsmen is not only to do chivalry, but also to earn money.

"To put it bluntly, what you do in the world is just fame and fortune.

“This is also the original intention of many people who choose to be knife hunters.

"Therefore, Jiang only needs to communicate with the court, accept many sea arrest documents issued by the court, and then distribute them to other knife catchers under his sect, letting them work in various places.

“In this way, Jianghu Zhengdao will naturally acquiesce in our existence.

“As time went by, we grew and grew.

"Then I am deeply aware of the endless chaos in the world and it is necessary to enforce the law to protect the family and the people, so I plan to become the law enforcer in this world.

“At this time, there will inevitably be a rebound.

“But since our forces are already huge, these backlashes are no longer enough to hurt our muscles and bones.

"With this demonstration, no matter whether people in the world are willing or not, they can no longer deny our existence.

"At that time, with the approval of the imperial power, our reputation will be completely established in terms of justice, truth, and even among the people.

“From now on, we only need to gradually deepen and control slowly, and it will not be difficult to put an end to chaos in the world.

"It's just that if you want to do this well, it will take time... Don't rush it."

Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue looked at each other.

They all noticed the surprise in each other's eyes.

Excluding the latter content, isn't what I said above exactly what Jiang Ran had imagined before?

Now it is just expressed through Wu Weihou's words.

After hearing this, Marquis Wuwei decided to help.

Things that seemed out of the question suddenly seemed to be possible.

I just don’t know... If it really comes to a later stage, will Jiang Ran really want to enforce the law in this arena?

In this way, it is difficult not to go to the opposite side of the world.

After all, the reason why rivers and lakes are rivers and lakes is that, apart from the deceitfulness and the flash of swords, the most desirable thing is the freedom and freedom of rivers and lakes.

If you do something, you have to look forward and backward. If you are not careful, a group of people will jump out and yell at you... What kind of world is this?

Jiang Ran's fist is indeed big enough, but if it is really like this, it will inevitably fall into the same situation as the Thunder God Sect in the past when everyone was the enemy.

Little did he know that Jiang Ran had never considered this at all.

What kind of Jianghu law enforcement... has anything to do with him.

It's nothing more than drawing a big pie and seeing if Wuwei Hou can eat it.

If possible, it can be a help for you to earn system rewards.

On the contrary... I have nothing to lose.

As for whether this matter needs to be kept secret... To be honest, if this is done, it will definitely attract a lot of attention.

It doesn't matter if it's kept secret or not.

In the end, even if Marquis Wuwei found out that Jiang Ran only wanted to be the leader of the knife hunters and had no intention of going to the Jianghu to enforce the law... But then, who would Jiang Ran, who had accumulated countless rewards, be afraid of?

Wu Weihou was silent for a long time this time.

The expression on his face was sometimes excited, sometimes solemn, and after several changes, it returned to calm.

Suddenly, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Ran:

"You didn't have this idea overnight, right?"

"Master Hou Ming Jian."

Jiang Ran smiled:

"I don't want this world to have too many twists and turns...

"Of course the Marquis has seen the tragic sight of blood flowing across the oars and the red ground thousands of miles away.

"But Jiang has also seen innocent people involved in the killings of Jianghu masters, and the despair of being helpless."

"it is good!!"

Wu Weihou patted the table, picked up the tea cup and said:

"Sure enough, I didn't misjudge you.

"Jiang Ran, you did not disappoint me.

"You have the same ambition as I do...it really makes me feel that I am not alone.

"You have such ambitious ideals, so I will give you your full support!"

"So, Lord Marquis is correct?"

"There is no reason to be inaccurate at this time, but you have to take your time with the joints... Don't rush...

"In this way, when you return from Qing Country, I will be able to prepare everything you need."

"it is good."

Jiang Ran raised his glass:

"In that case, thank you very much, Lord Marquis."

Substituting tea for wine, the two clinked their glasses together and drank the tea in one gulp.

Only then did Wuwei stand up:

"After all, I am no longer as good as I was when I was young.

"I'll go back and rest first..."

"Okay, I would like to send you off to the Marquis."

Jiang Ran stood up and clasped his fists slightly.

After watching the mighty warrior go further and further away until he was completely out of sight, Jiang Ran frowned slightly and sat down slowly.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jingshuang saw that he was still smiling just now, but now his face suddenly became serious and he couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Ran shook his head thoughtfully:

"What do you think of this Wuwei Hou?"

"This question is just like you want to ask me if he is a good match..."

Ye Jingxue couldn't help but rolled her eyes.

Jiang Ran glanced at her in surprise, and finally sighed:

"It'll be fine from now on. Stop messing around with Tang Huayi. A good and decent disciple is almost less reliable than the little demon sect girl like her."

"..."

Ye Jingxue pouted, feeling that Jiang Ran had said this.

There is no way I should be more unreliable than Tang Huayi.

Ye Jingshuang asked:

"Brother Jiang, what do you want to say?"

"……I have no idea."

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"I don't know why, but I always feel like this person is... a little strange."

"Do you suspect that he has other problems?"

Ye Jingxue asked.

Jiang Ran shook his head:

"It's hard to say... All in all, I can't see through this person.

"That's all, let's not mention this person's affairs.

"What do you think of the sudden death of Master Dao Que?"

Anyway, there is no rush to go back to rest now. Their residence has not been arranged in Daoyiguan, so they might as well just chat here.

The pavilion is located on the edge of the cliff, with a clear view of the surrounding area.

I didn't expect anyone to fly up to this high altitude and eavesdrop on their conversation.

"I don't really have any opinion on the sudden death of Master Dao Que. I just feel that each of his fellow apprentices has their own thoughts.

“Moreover, this thought is quite secretive and I don’t want outsiders to know.

"So they are bent on driving us away." Ye Jingxue heard Jiang Ran's question and spoke honestly.

Ye Jingshuang also nodded:

"Moreover, Brother Jiang, you said before that everyone in this Taoist Temple may be the murderer of Dao Que.

"Then we actually have this possibility.

"It turns out that Master Daoyuan seems to be afraid of us staying here...

"I feel like there is probably something wrong with this person."

Jiang Ran nodded slightly after listening to what the two people said:

“Everything you say is correct…but I’m still not sure about this matter.

"Let's wait a little longer..."

"When?"

Ye Jingshuang asked.

"wait until……"

When Jiang Ran said this, the corner of his mouth suddenly curled up:

"It should be soon..."

Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue were very unhappy with Jiang Ran's sudden betrayal.

I couldn't help but glare at him.

Jiang Ran waved his hand:

“Don’t take it lightly, don’t be careless.

"As the saying goes, things come true when they are secreted..."

"Words are used to vent defeat!"

Ye Jingxue added:

"Okay, okay, what do we do now?"

"There is nothing going on now... How about we just stay here?"

Jiang Ran suggested.

Then two people agreed.

At the end of the whole day, the three of them had a lot of fun.

The location of Daoyi Temple is naturally unusual. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery, and you can even overlook the scenery of the capital from a distance.

After playing around, everyone feels relaxed and happy.

Then I remembered that they stayed at Taoist Temple and hadn't notified the Princess Mansion yet.

Then he found the disciples of Tao Yi Guan and asked them to help deliver the message.

The disciples of Taoist Temple were very sad and angry.

Their sect leader died. Even if Jiang Ran and the others didn't feel the same way, there was no reason for them to come here to enjoy the mountains and rivers, right?

Now they are still being sent to deliver letters...

This broom star is really abominable.

However, he complained in his heart, but did not dare to disobey, and finally went to help deliver the message honestly.

Later, under the arrangement of Dao Yizong disciples, they were allowed to live in an elegant courtyard, and they settled down temporarily.

The lunch meal was hasty, and I couldn't eat anything delicious at night.

After all, the sect leader just died here, so how could he have the heart to entertain guests.

Jiang Ran didn't have any objections, so he led Ye Jingshuang and Ye Jingxue into the mountains to find some game, wash it, rinse it, and make a fire to roast it.

After eating and drinking, we went back to rest.

It wasn't until night fell that Jiang Ran turned over and sat up.

Looking out the window with furrowed brows:

"Why did you come to me instead of watching Daoyou Zhenren?"

The shadows of the trees outside the window were swaying, and the wind was blowing outside.

No one answered, but there were two more words on the window... You go!

"I go?"

Jiang Ran almost laughed angrily:

"You're so rude..."

He rolled out of bed, waved his hand and opened the window, but no one could be seen outside.

Jiang Ran turned around and was already outside the room.

After another jump, he was already on the roof. As soon as the light flowed around, he was near the residence of Dao Youzhen.

This is also the harvest during the day.

In addition to traveling around the mountains and rivers and wandering around this Taoist temple, the residences of these Taoist priests were also sorted out.

It doesn't take much effort to find him now.

Jiang Ran found a tree and lay on the branch, using his hands as a pillow. He leaned back like this, looking at the stars above his head, with his eyes half open and half closed, as if he was taking a nap to rest his mind.

However, everything in the courtyard was peaceful and there was no disturbance at all.

Jiang Ran's ears and eyes were sharp, and he could hear Daoyou's breathing after falling asleep on the bed.

In this way, the sky light flows, and it is midnight in a blink of an eye.

A shrill scream suddenly rang out, completely breaking the tranquility of Taoist Temple.

Jiang Ran stood up and noticed that Master Dao You in the room had also woken up. After a while, Master Dao You hurriedly put on his robe and walked out of the room:

"Somebody come!"

Immediately, a disciple from the Taoist Sect came forward.

"What happened? Who was screaming? Why?"

The disciples looked at each other, unable to give a single reason.

Daoyou Zhenren did not dare to delay, and immediately galloped away according to the source of the voice just now.

After a while, they arrived at an alley corner of Taoist Temple.

Several corpses were lying here, as well as a horrified Taoist disciple with a pale face.

At the same time, Master Dao Qin and Master Dao Guang have arrived.

Only Daoyuan Zhenren was not seen.

Jiang Ran frowned in the dark:

"This isn't right."

There seemed to be sounds floating in the wind, but it seemed like there was nothing.

Jiang Ran shook his head slightly and said nothing.

Dao Youzhen looked at the disciple, then at the other dead little Taoist priests, and couldn't help but ask:

"What's going on? Did you see who took action?"

The little Taoist priest was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he trembled and said:

"Disciple...disciple saw...someone had a man in black...passing by this way.

"The disciples and others were patrolling the night...so they drank him.

"I just noticed that he was holding a human head in his hand...

"That's...that's the head of Master Daoyuan's great-uncle!!"

Daoyuan's face is the most useful in Daoyizong.

Normally, when a disciple sees him, he will meditate and record his mistakes.

Therefore, they can mistake anyone, but they can never mistake Daoyuan.

Dao Youzhen took a breath of air-conditioning and said,

"How could this be?"

After saying that, he turned around and left, heading straight to Daoyuan's residence.

I no longer care to listen to what I said next.

Jiang Ran glanced at the little Taoist priest and smiled softly:

"I see……"

After saying that, he followed him a little further.

Daoqin Daoguang's steps were only a little slower.

He found that the door to Daoyuan's room was open, and there were many signs of fighting in the room.

Daoyuan's body was lying on the ground, but his head was missing.

Jiang Ran looked at the headless corpse and tilted his head slightly.

Taoist priests and others came to the corpse to inspect it.

"First it was the sect leader, and now it's Dao Yuan... What on earth is going on?"

"The affairs of the sect master have not yet been found out... Dao Yuan, Dao Yuan, he..."

When Master Daoqin on one side said this, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head.

But I heard Dao Guang say in a low voice:

"Do you think it was him who did it?"

This sentence caused Master Dao You and Master Dao Qin to fall silent.

The three people looked at each other and heard Dao Guang say:

“As soon as they arrived, the sect leader died suddenly and inexplicably.

"Although what Jiang Ran said makes sense, if he is familiar with the attack, the sect leader will inevitably neglect to take precautions.

"But what if the opponent's martial arts is too high?

"Secondly... Daoyuan just had a lot of verbal conflicts with him during the day.

"Now Daoyuan suddenly died inexplicably..."

When Jiang Ran heard this, he felt that something was wrong with this topic.

These bullshit guys are doubting themselves, right?

Sure enough, I heard Dao Youzhen take a deep breath:

"Come on, let's go ask."

"Just ask it directly?"

Dao Qin felt incredible.

Master Dao You said solemnly:

"Ask, what if he gives the correct answer?"

Dao Qin and Dao Guang had no idea at the moment. When Daoyou Zhenren said this, they could only agree with their fists clasped.

After Master Daoguang agreed, he added:

"No matter what, after this incident we can't let them stay in Taoist Temple..."

"What's the reason?"

A real person asked.

Master Daoguang was speechless for a moment.

While talking, the three of them didn't care about the body and headed towards Jiang Ran's residence.

After they left, Jiang Ran appeared beside the body.

After checking it carefully, he frowned slightly:

"What do you think is going on?"

No one answered him, but Jiang Ran seemed to have heard something.

While thinking, he nodded, and finally smiled:

"Interesting, interesting, your Taoist sect is so interesting."
